The latest technology added to the Wrangler includes a “push-to-start” feature, Apple CarPlay (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Android Auto (NASDAQ:GOOGL), according to Vaughn. Additionally, Jeep made it easier for drivers to remove the top of the vehicle.

“If anyone’s ever owned a Wrangler, they know taking the hard top off is a lot of work, but now with this Wrangler it’s as simple as a touch of a button. It’s basically like having a convertible and an off-road Wrangler in one.”
